Cartoon Game Industry; Cluster; Creative Class; Structure International Conference on Education Technology and Social Science (ICETSS 2014) Research on Cultivation of Creative Class under Industrial Environment Cluster-- Take Cartoon Game Industry as an Example Lie Chen Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610000, China Keywords: cartoon game industry; cluster; creative class; structure Abstract. This research takes Chengdu national-level culture creative industry park as an example to pay attention to the current situation of cluster cultivation of creative class of Chengdu cartoon game industry under cluster environment. Through deep research on typical cartoon culture creativity enterprises, this paper carries out analysis on various factors influencing development of Chengdu professional cartoon creative talents, and proposes the solution for cultivation of creative talents based on the thought of cluster development of creative industry. The concept of industrial cluster firstly appeared in the book The Competitive Advantage of Nations written by Michael E. Porter and published in 1990. So far, as a kind of extremely special industrial organization form, the industrial cluster has gradually become an important economic phenomenon in world economic development. The powerful technology and knowledge overflow effect brought by industrial cluster is widely affecting industrialization and urbanization process of a region and even whole country. The cartoon industry which centers on Sichuan Chengdu is gradually forming Southwest cartoon industry development zone led by games and wireless entertainment. In the development process “from industrial concentration to grouping and cluster”, the spatial arrangement of Chengdu cultural creative industry cluster has basically taken the shape, and the creative class cluster is basically formed. Currently, there are more than 520 software enterprises in Chengdu, including more than 60 online game enterprises. Take high-tech zone as an example: more than 180,000 various kinds of talents gather in Chengdu high-tech zone, including more than 15,000 overseas high-level talents, doctors, foreign experts, and other senior talents. Besides, in Chengdu City, there are 12 people selected into central government “thousand-talent plan” and 26 people selected into Sichuan “hundred-talent plan”. Those high-level talents are mainly distributed in Chengdu High-tech Zone, Shuangliu County, Longquanyi District, and Jinniu District, etc.; the high-tech zone has most high-level talents, including 8 people selected into “thousand-talent plan” and 21 people selected into “hundred-talent plan”. As the primate city of time development of western creative industry, Chengdu shall regard incubation of creative class as primary task to serve for the development of Chengdu cartoon game industry and provide talent guarantee for establishing “internationally advanced, domestic leading, west first” digital game cartoon content originality base. I. Investigation plan 1. Investigation purpose This investigation aims at summarizing the main factors which influence cultivation of Chengdu cartoon game creative lent aggregation and exploring new mode which adapts to cultivation of Chengdu creative class through investigation on current situation of creative talent aggregation in Chengdu creative park. 2. Investigation object and method This investigation is a field investigation for typical cultural creative industry cluster area in Chengdu City; meanwhile, the corresponding cultural creative industry is taken as typical case for tracking research. Three representative game companies (UbiSoft, Perfect World, and GameWorks) are selected for key data sampling. 3. Investigation content According to the growth environment and occupational states of cartoon game talents in typical creative park, the analysis is made on the reason why the structural contradiction happens between © 2014. The authors - Published by Atlantis Press 255 talent demand and talent supply so as to provide reference suggestions for cultivation of creative class. II. Investigation result and analysis 1. Compared with rapid development of Chengdu cartoon game industry, the increment of creative talent aggregation is significantly insufficient with obvious individual difference in occupational ability. In New York, the talents of cultural creative industry account for 12% of total working population; in London, this proportion is up to 14%; in Tokyo, this proportion is up to 15%; however, in Beijing, Shanghai and other metropolis in China, the proportion of employees of creative industry in total employed population is less than 1‰ [2]. Most of those employees are only skill-oriented creative execution personnel, and the true sense of creative talents who take proprietary intellectual property rights as focus, take “brain” service as feature, and take professional or special skills as means are more rare, thus it is neither able to meet the demand of creative industry under continuous development nor able to reflect the group effect of creative talents[3]. There exists great gap between industrial demand and reserve of talents. The investigation shows that the tapping degree of creative talents’ ability is in highly positive correlation in the creative talents’ social experience and education background. Due to individual difference, there also exists great difference in enterprises’ cultivating creative talents. Under the cultivation of same post and same route, the game talents also show different growth features. In game cartoon industry, the high-level talents is extremely deficient, and the high mobility becomes the common occupational selection for the talents of this industry. 2. Chengdu cartoon game creative group has unreasonable structure and low education level. The creative talents are a kind of intellectual laborers with creative thinking. On one hand, they have deep understanding of history and culture; on the other hand, they get hold of high-end professional skills, thus they are outstanding talents who take creative thinking service as feature and special skills as means. However, “the biggest gap between currently Chinese creative talents and international professional talents is lacking of combination ability of arts and technology, thus the urgent affair is to solve quality different.” [4] 3. The creative talents have low recognition degree of realization of their own value, and low satisfaction of employment. The investigation shows that there exist many problems in cartoon game talents’ employment and individual development. For example, the initial employment is easy, but it is difficult to form a benign career growth; the enterprise salary system is imperfect; the enterprises have few paths to pay attention to talent growth; there is large mobility in middle and low-end creative talents. In addition, the uneven enterprise development level results in creative talents’ low realization degree of their value and low satisfaction of employment. III. Analysis on necessity of cultivation of Chengdu creative class and factors restricting the cultivation of Chengdu creative class (I) Analysis on necessity of cultivation of Chengdu cultural creative class John Hawkins pointed out in the book Creative Economy that half of working population in Group of Seven engaged in creative industry in 2004, and its increase speed was 2 times quicker than that of traditional service industry, and 4 times quicker than that of manufacturing industry, which meant that the creative class would become a tower of strength of social class of developed countries. As for the United States with rapid development of creative industry, it calls cultural creative industry as “copyright industry”, and it is also the country with most developed copyright industry in the world. According to investigation in 2006, the creative class and core creative personnel in Beijing accounted for 15.97% and 3.89% respectively; the creative class and core creative personnel in Shanghai accounted for 10.67% and 1.89% respectively; the creative class and core creative 256 personnel in Chengdu accounted for 9.13% and 1.33% respectively. Currently, Shanghai has become one of cities with rapid development, the biggest total strength, and mature industrial form in China. In recent years, Beijing cultural creative industry has rapid development; by the end of 2012, the industrial added value of Beijing City has broken through RMB 200 billion yuan and been up to RMB 218.92 billion yuan, accounting for 12.3% of GDP. Shanghai culture industry keeps a trend of stable growth, and the gross output of cultural industry increases from RMB 168.699 billion yuan in 2005 to RMB 379.869 billion yuan in 2011; the added value of cultural industry increases from RMB 50.923 billion yuan in 2005 to RMB 109.897 billion yuan in 2011; the creative industry is becoming an eye-watching bright spot in Shanghai economic growth. Although the total quantity of Chengdu creative talents can meet the demand of industrial development, the high-end creative talents are rare and the talent structure is imbalanced. Lacking of operation management personnel of creative industrialization has become an important factor which restricts the development of Chengdu cartoon game industry. However, by virtue of unique humanity, talent, and habitation advantage and as the industrial basis of important strategic and functional deployment area for development of national software industry, Chengdu has formed software, information technology service industry enterprise cluster, and complete industrial

Institute of Engineering Surveying, Sichuan College of Architectural Technology, Deyang 618000, P.R.China [email protected] Abstract: Based on GIS and CBERS/CCD which was obtained on June 16, 2006, patches of urban green in the main urban areas of Chengdu are extracted using many quantitative indicators and by method of decision tree classification, according to principles and methods of landscape ecology. Patches of urban green are divided into four grades, and they are respectively small-scale patch, medium-scale patch, large-scale patch and special large-scale patch. The area pro- portion of small-scale patch is 3.8%, and that of medium-scale patch is 11.1%, that of large-scale patch is 22.3% and that of special large-scale patch is 62.8%.The results of fragmentation, contagion, diversity index, dominance and evenness are obtained. They are 0.854, 0.600, 0.657, 0.730 and 0.690 respectively. The research results think that scal- ability characteristics and divisional differences of green patches are obvious. A little number of green whose area is bigger mainly is composed of scenic spots, gardens and universities. There are many problems, for example, connec- tivity of urban green is low, structure of landscape is single, and spatial distribution is unbalanced.

  • Xtraordinary Escapades
    frequent flyer t’s an adventurer’s dream come true— 39-year-old Alvin Low ditches his desk job as an IT technical consultant for the majestic landscapes and perilous trails of China, Nepal and Tibet. The avid athlete’s love for the outdoors started when his high school canoeing team brought him on round-island trips, which included Ihiking jaunts in Malaysia to explore its waterfalls. Since then, his vacations have always revolved around sporty thrills such as canoeing, cycling and trekking. What prompted you to start Shangrila Adventure? It was sparked by a personal trip to Tiger Leaping Gorge and Shangri-La, located near Lijiang in China’s Yunnan province. I yearned to share the view, the people and their culture with others but could not find such tour operators. Even if they did offer such trips, they weren’t exclusive and included touristy sights and souvenir-shopping without touching on the local culture and food. What has been your most exciting expedition so far? There are new discoveries with every journey, even on the same route and trail. But if I had to choose, it was definitely my overland expedition, along part of the Silk Road from Altay City in Xinjiang into Kazakhstan, and then back into Kashgar, into Tibet and through the very remote Ngari (or Ali) prefecture, including a pilgrimage trek around the sacred Mount Kailash. The whole expedition lasted for about one and a half months. What about your most dangerous trip? There was this one expedition when one of my teammates slipped and slid down the slope as we were climbing a snow peak in Sichuan.

  • Where Can You Find Typical Chinese Dishes? 13:34, September 21, 2007
    Where can you find typical Chinese dishes? 13:34, September 21, 2007 One of our readers sent us a letter saying that a magazine survey showed that 90% of the people being asked think that Chinese dishes are the most delicious in the world. Indeed, Chinese food culture has a long history and tradition. Eating is not just a way of filling the stomach, but also an art and a culture. China is a vast country. Due to the different geography, climate and products in different areas, food culture and customs are also different; thus forming different schools of food and dishes in various areas. Before the Qing Dynasty(1644-1911), there were only two schools of dishes--northern and southern dishes. However, during the Qing Dynasty, there were the Lu, Yue, Huaiyang, Sichuan, Min, Zhejiang, Xiang and Hui schools of food and dishes. They are also called the 8 main schools of Chinese dishes. *Lu dishes* Lu dishes came from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period (770-221B.C.), and formed a school during the Qin and Han dynasties (221B.C.). After the Song Dynasty, Lu dishes became typical northern dishes in Beijing, Tianjin, and three provinces in northeast China. Lu dishes are also divided into Jiaodong dishes, Jinan dishes and Confucius home dishes. Recommendation Restaurant: Chunjiang Restaurant on No.56 Youth League Road, Central district, Jinan city, Shandong Province Dishes: Jiuzhuan dachang--Nine turns of large intestines Tangcu Liyu---Sweet and sour carp Congshao Haisen--Cooked sea cucumber with Chinese onion and sugar Average price is 50 yuan (7 USD) per person *Yue dishes* Yue dishes are Canton dishes, developed from three types of dishes coming from Guangzhou, Chaozhou and Dongjiang.
